I headed out to Albertsons this morning hoping to get some extra doublers and take advantage of a few sales and catalinas that are running.
I made it to the Ammon store and was unable to get extra doubles so I did one transaction there.
This is what I got:
2 Swiss Miss cocoa $2.69
$2/1 printable
gone now I think
6 Kellogg's cereal $2.50
use $1/2 printable
kelloggs.com, but I can't get it to load now, so I'm not sure exactly
3 gallons milk $2.19
Free when you purchase 6 participating Kellogg's cereal
clearance napkins/paper plates/gift tags $.19/ea.
Doubled the Kellogg's coupons.
OOP: 10.42
**I discovered after I paid and got home that the swiss miss actually rang up as $1, but the coupon came off as $2...unforseen mistake**
Also, take note, the milk is free up to $6 and it is an automatic deduction done at the register, so you don't have to buy the milk, but you might as well-it's FREE!! If you don't think you will use it, I'm sure you have a neighbor that may just need a gallon today, but doesn't want to drive out in the snow...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I headed to the store on 17th to see if they would hand out any doubles. I found my items first and then asked, since it was so slow, I wasn't worried about causing a fuss. (the 17th store is known to be generous with handing out doubles) I was able to score one per cashier, so I got two more.
Transaction #1:
6 Campbell soup (tomato or chicken noodle) $.39
4Honey nut cheerios
2 Lucky charms
use $1/2 printable
coupons.com
double three
OOP: 9.92
received 3 free boxes of nature valley granola bars at $3.49 ea
**This catalina was supposed to print at the register, but it didn't, so I headed to customer service and they helped me get them-a value of $11.10-incl.tax WHICH also triggered a $1.50 catalina! Woot!!**
Transaction #2:
3 carnation instant breakfast $3.99
use $1/1 from 1/3 (i think)
double 3
OOP: 5.97
received a $1.50 catalina
I hope this helps you get some ideas how to use your coupons and doubles. The doubles run through Saturday, so you have a few days. The stores were well stocked on all the items I purchased.
I may head back out Friday morning or sometime Saturday to see if I can obtain any more doubles, there are a few more deals that could be had...maybe. Let me know how you do and what you get...I love hearing other scenarios!

Albertsons Double Ideas PLUS Scenarios
Just to name a few great deals to take advantage of before midnight tomorrow, in no particular order. I don't have a lot of the links for the online coupons, I found all of them on Fabulessly Frugal, my very favorite site!! And because I just started this, I don't have dates or references to the inserts of most coupons, I just know the ones from yesterday. I am sorry. Most are going to be from the end of Nov. through Dec. I hope to get better at this as times goes on. Anyway...
Kellogg's Fiberplus cereal $2
use $1/2 (from a coupon insert, sorry don't know which or where)
use $1/1 printable
Tyson breaded chicken $4.99
use $1/1
Pace picante sauce $1.50-1.99
use .50/2 or use the in-store MF coupon
wonderful pistachios $4.99
use $1/1
yoplait yogurt $.50
use .50/8 GM 1/2
or .40/6 GM 1/2
or .50/4 printable
softsoap liquid $.99
use $.35/1 SS 1/2
Buy 10, get $2 automatic discount
snack paks $1/$.80 after discount
use $.60/3 SS 1/2
chef boyardee $1/$.80
use $.60/3 (I think it is-I don't have my coupons in front of me)
Buy $20, get $5 catalina
Nyquil/Dayquil/Sinex $5.99
use $4/1
or $3/2
Crest ProHealth $2.50
use $.75/1
WITHOUT DOUBLERS
Electrosol/Finish 20 ct. Gelpacs or Tablets $2.99
use $2.25/1 SS 1/2
Scenario #1:
3 softsoap $.99
use 3-$.35/1
use 3 doublers
OOP: $.90
Scenario #2:
3 Sinex
1 Crest ProHealth toothpaste
use 3-$4/1
use 1-$.75/1
OOP: $6.97
get back: $5
total: $1.97
Remember, if your store is out of product, you can get a rain check for the item. I assume most stores will be out of the dish detergent and possibly the softsoap, so that is what I will be doing.
Happy shopping!
Let me know what you find.

starting out...
whew.
I started this lowly blog back in September and haven't written a thing.
I wasn't sure what to write.
I didn't know if anyone would read it. still not sure on that.
I knew I wanted to write what deals I found or heard of, but I didn't want to feel redundant to the large and lovely blogs out in the cyber world.
But.
Today I had to take my middle child in to the doctor-where my hubby works-and one of the darling techs comes right in the room and asks,
"are you going to teach a couponing class?"
What?!?
Me?!?
I'm no one. I don't know near as much as those previously mentioned lovely blogs.
BUT!
I realized as I left the office that my husband must have been pretty proud of me and my savings, sometimes crazy ways, to save us money and has been talking about it at work to all those women who are trying to save a buck here and there.
So...here goes.
As I ring in the New Year, I will post those deals I find, see and hear about it.
I will share those fun and exciting moments of saving MORE than a buck!
I will find time in my schedule and teach a coupon class or two and get more locals thrilled with the coupon "bug".
I might even share some recipes and fun things to do with those items that can be found at such a tremendous price!!
I will do it.
And not fret.
